Eat Less, and Exercise and "Lose the weight". Sounds pretty easy, huh? There are plenty of healthy food choices out there! So, make better choices and exercise more. This is probably one of the simplest solutions to the growing rate of Obesity in America. So why am I in the position I am in once again? I have lost alot of weight in my lifetime, so I feel like an expert in weight loss. Now I am faced asking myself once again, "How am I going to get it off this time?" How humiliating it is to lose alot of weight and then gain it back, and I always tell myself, I won't gain it back this time. I guess it would be like a smoker, quiting smoking for 10 or more years, and then start smoking again. Why, would they do that? Or an alcoholic not touching a drink for years and start drinking again. They just drank or smoked socially that one time and then slowly over time their addiction takes control again. I guess that's how I can relate and understand addiction. And how I have in the past, slowly let my addiction and choices take control and allow me to gain the weight back that I worked so hard to lose. No matter what "Type of addiction" a person has, I sincerely believe they can overcome it, if they really have a desire to. Let's see, NutriSystem, Phen Phen, Weight Watchers, Grapefruit diet, Atkins, Lap Band...........I have done them all. To sum it up though, when I put my mind to it, no matter what diet I have chosen to follow, the basic rules are pretty much the same, "Eat Less, and Exercise and Lose the weight". I have decided to start this Blog, "My Journey to a Healthier Me!" because I want to make myself accountable, and share my story. I look forward to the advice others have to share. I have a different outlook this time, I don't care about the charts in the doctors office, I just want to be healthy. I have never been the ideal weight on the doctor chart, that isn't my goal. I want to feel good, and be healthy. I want to have control in my choices and not let my choices control me.
So it's not a "Diet", It's not Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers, it's a lifestyle, a lifestyle that I want for myself and for my family. I am excited about this Blog, and hearing comments and advice that I hope can be helpful to all that read it. I am thankful to have a wonderful, supportive group of friends and family and with this support and my faith, knowing that...."I can do all things through Christ , He gives me strength when I have none." So With God and the support of all my friends, I know this weight is coming off, and I am so excited to be on this "Journey to Healthier Me!"
